Abstract
The global accumulation of electronic waste is a growing concern in terms of the health and safety of our planet. Electronic waste has a greater potential to create environmental contamination and human health problems due to the way it is often disposed of, making it a worldwide problem. 'Sustainable consumption and production' may help nations solve the problem of electronic waste management by forcing them to make fundamental changes in the way their communities manufacture and use commodities. Governments, NGOs, businesses, and citizens all work together to change unsustainable consumption and production habits. The effects of e-waste on human health and the natural environment will be discussed, as will various situations involving this kind of garbage. Developed and developing nations' (namely India's) approaches to managing discarded electrical and electronic equipment will be examined, as will appropriate pathways concerning recyclable components using extended producer responsibility that led to the creation of a circular economy.
